Sonnet: Eve’s First Mother’s Day

If not for Eve, then Adam lived in solitude! God knew this was not good for him at all, poor man; Out of man’s rib, God created his mate Eve nude; She was his companion and named her as ‘woman.’ An ideal partner Eve for Adam, turned to be; Attracted by the serpent’s offered fruit, Eve ate; She made her sleepy partner taste it quite promptly; Their disobedience to God’s order changed their fate. But motherhood to Eve was important and best; It was better than womanhood despite the strife; God formed her for the job with added zeal and zest; To compensate, she was more patient throughout life. And Eve was mother to the human race in prime; From birth of Cain, Eve did this duty as full-time! Copyright by Dr John Celes 10-05-2015
